Chapter 45

Tobias’ POV

Gerard lifts his hands and the earth breaks open behind us. Stopping any escape or retreat from the three packs in front of us. “Ruby Moon; we have no beef with you. You are free to go peacefully; if you attack others for personal gain in the future; you will face our fury” Alex shouts.

Brenda walks forward; “You may have no beef with us; but we have one with you. Where is my father?” I look at Alex to see if he knew what she was talking about; he shrugs.

Shaun moves forward and whispers something in Tim’s ear. His eyes narrow towards Brenda; then transfers his gaze to David and Elijah. “We haven’t touched him; much” Tim yells; David and Elijah throw Mark to the centre with the rest of them. “I found, your wolfy serum comes in handy?” he chuckles.

“Blood Moon; your Alpha has been destroyed you may surrender or die along with him” Renee speaks up. *“They killed Raymond?”* I asked Glenn *“Yeah; they played tug of war with him, then Renee went for he’s family crest.” “Ouch; remind me not to piss her off”* Alex laughed.

“Jonathon; give me Shaun and we will leave your two territories alone” Sebastian yells; moving forward. Alex, Tim, Rami and myself growl at his presence. “My name is Tobias Jaxon Thompson. Son of Jaxon and Yvette, Alpha and Luna of Emerald Moon and brother to Timothy.” Some of their warriors all look towards Sebastian and Aubrey; trying to figure out, if what I say is true. Aubrey gasps and Sebastian becomes enraged as the truth of what they did is revealed.

A number of warriors shift back and walk toward us. I watch as Dustin smiles at me and walk past with his brothers in arms and stand behind Alex and myself. “Shit; Sebastian didn’t have as many loyal followers as he once thought” Alex tells me. “We need to get this thing happening. I’m getting sick of talking shit.”

“Last chance; surrender or die” Alex yells. “We will never surrender” Brenda calls out. 1400 men and woman shift and charge toward the group in front of us. I head straight for Mark, Sebastian and Aubrey in the centre, hiding from the attack.

Alex, Ramirez, Nathanial, Adrian, Glenn, Kimberly, Rebecca, Jeremy, Christian, Alister and Dad come with me. Tim and Cameron heads straight to Brenda with David, Elijah and Cam’s Betta and Gamma.

The other leaders and their fighters run towards the Emerald Moon, Ruby Moon and Blood Moon fighters biting, clawing and throwing them away from us.

A brown wolf comes from our right; biting Nelson in his side; *“Dad; are you ok?” “It’s just a flesh wound, keep going.”* Glenn and Kimberly punce on him, ripping him apart. *“Kim, Beck; get dad behind the fighting”* I scream. They fall back throwing wolves out of the way of Nelson, he limps back to the edge of the fighting.

Two bears, Five Wolves and a Lion charge to the centre; stalking around the three people; ending their retreat from the fighting. There is fighting all around me, but my focus is on the three in front of me; Sebastian, Mark and Aubrey. “Alex, Jonny we can talk about this?” Fear seeping through Sebastian’s voice. I, alone shift back “My name is TOBIAS” I scream at him.

“You took me from my mother and brother; for what exactly?” “We wanted you; we love you” Aubrey cried. “Love?” I chuckle at her; “is that what you call it? Remember the first time you hit me? DO YOU?” I scream, my Alpha aura seeping out, surrounding the area. “I do; I was four and asked you where my brother was. I didn’t know what I was sensing at the time; but I could feel him.”

Tyson comes to my side, nudging my leg. I look down at him; “what did you do, Aubrey? What did you say to me?” “I-I….” she stammers. “Nothing? I’ll refresh your memory, shall I? You said there was never a brother and not to say another word about it; ever. Then you hit me across my face.” She stammers again; I can feel eyes starting to find their way towards us from behind.

“And you Sebastian; what did you do when I said I don’t want to hurt Olivia and Jessica; they lost their families and it wasn’t fair to them. What did you say? What did you do?” “I moved them to the closet like you asked” he scoffed.

“That’s not what I just asked you” I boomed; refusing to surrender to his bull shit. "Nothing from you either? You are the dumbass, they call you." I scream at him. He growls, and I continue; "you head butted me and punched me in the stomach telling me; they are pure scum and deserve to be treated like that.” Jonas growls and steps forward, *"Not yet"* I tell Alex; Jonas stops. “You still hit them and spat on them” Aubrey screamed.

“Did I?” I cackle at them; “or did I just make you think I did? I knew when I was fifteen Olivia was my mate and I was NEVER going to hurt her; EVER” I spat. They looked shocked at this information, did they really not know? “Think; Alpha Dumbass, when you were about to hit either one of them; why did you end up hitting me instead?” “Because you would get….” *“The penny drops; they really are one fry short of a happy meal.”* I mind link.

I look around me; Jonas and the others are still stalking their way around the four of us. Tyson is standing in front of me. The fighting is all over and the other leaders, warriors and enforcers are standing around; watching and waiting.

Nelson walks forward and nudges my side. I pat the fur on his neck; walking past Tyson I hit Sebastian square in the Jaw; knocking him to the ground. “How dare you call yourself my father” I spit.

He grabbed a silver knife from a sheath on his leg and puts it to my throat “I should have done this when you were a baby, but your mother wouldn’t allow it.” he screams. Everyone around me starts growling. *“Now?”* I say to Alex, *“NOW.”*

I open my mind and Tyler walks in; I grab his conscious and we come out together. As I grow into my Lycan; dad tries to stab me with the knife. I pull his arm away from me; his shoulder dislocates from its socket from the force. I fling the knife from his hand, like I was swatting an irritating mosquito. “SHE IS NOT MY MOTHER” we yell together.

Aubrey and Mark back away; there eyes swollen with fear as they watching the scene unfold in front of them.

Rami shifts and grabs Aubrey by the hair “I want you to watch as Toby rips your precious mate apart.” Tyson and Jonas pounce on Mark; they rip him apart; snarling and biting through him; tossing him around like a ragdoll.

I pick Sebastian up around his neck and dangle him. He’s gasping for air; Benji comes to the forefront of Sebastian’s eyes. “Tim made the promise Benji, and I am going to keep it.”

I grab Sebastian’s head; ripping it from his shoulders and throw him to the ground. Aubrey starts sobbing; “I’m sorry Tobias, your father made me do those things” she cries. Tim and Alex shift; and look at her as she pleas for her life. “He made you order Henrietta’s death?” Ramirez scoffed “Or Yvette’s execution?” Tim yells “Or Joshua’s” Alex added.

Her face went white as I nodded to Rami. He shifts into Bruno; slashing Aubrey from her throat to her navel; falling to the ground.

I let Tyler walk out of my mind, shifting back; I start walking back to Desert Moon “Gerry can you put the earth back. I want to see Liv” I yell. *“Reports of injuries are coming in; there were no deaths”* Dad informs us.
